I hope to have some time this weekend to start the long, ardious process of putting the engine in the car. Because of the 36 hp engine compartment, the engine has to come all the way down to a long block, everything's got to come off including all tin work, exhaust, pulley, even the valve covers, lol. Then reassemble in the car. I still have to pull the external cooler and lines and flush them out, they may have metal in them from when my oil pump ate a broken lash cap.
Funny story about my dyno numbers. Darren had told me it made 216 at 7k and 215 at 7.5k over the phone. When I went to pick up the engine and dyno sheet, I noticed that it made about the same torque at 7.5k as 7k. For a given amount of torque, horsepower goes up with RPM, therefore it cant make the same hp at 7,500 as 7,000 if the torque is the same. Darren and I checked his spreadsheet and he had an error in the formula at 7,500: it was using 7000 RPM to calculate hp insetad of 7500. So it was never making 215 at 7500, it was making 231, he just had an error on the spreadsheet. So incase any of you are wondering how I "magically" went from 215 hp @ 7500 to 231 hp at 7500, the 215 was a mistake, it was always making 231.
If anyone is interested, the formula to go from torque to hp is
hp = Torque X RPM /5252
The 5252 converts from RPM to radians per second and ft*lbs/s to hp
